Hall of Honor
The Hall of Honor tributes those members whose distinguished service to Sigma Nu has brought enduring strength and vitality to the Fraternity. Membership in the Hall of Honor is Sigma Nu's highest distinction. Recipients must meet ALL the following qualifications for induction into the Sigma Nu Hall of Honor:
- The brother must have distinguished himself in his field in a manner to bring great credit to the Fraternity.
- The brother must have rendered distinctive service of vital consequence to the progress and well-being of the Fraternity.
- If the brother is still living, he must have attained the age of 50 years old.
Selected by a special committee, each new member of the Hall of Honor is announced at Grand Chapter. He receives a certificate, a medallion to be worn on significant fraternal occasions, and the enduring acclaim of the Fraternity.
